PicoSure Tattoo Removal Device


Although tattoos are a personal preference, they may be removed due to changing tastes, lifestyle or professional reasons over time. Today, thanks to developing laser technologies, tattoo removal procedures have become much more effective, safer and have a low risk of scarring. One of the most advanced devices in this field is the PicoSure tattoo removal device. So what is PicoSure, how does it work and why is it considered so effective?

What is PicoSure?
PicoSure is a groundbreaking, FDA-approved picosecond laser device in the field of tattoo removal. It gets its name from the laser pulses that are one trillionth of a second, which is a “picosecond”. This technology breaks the ink particles into very small pieces by sending fast and strong pressure waves to the tattoo pigments instead of heat. These particles are more easily absorbed and eliminated by the body.

What are the Advantages of PicoSure?
PicoSure offers many advantages over conventional lasers in tattoo removal:

It provides results in a shorter time: Effective results can be achieved in fewer sessions compared to conventional lasers.

It is effective even on colored tattoos: It is especially successful even on difficult-to-erase colors such as blue, green and purple.

It does not damage the skin surface: The target is only the pigment, the surrounding tissues are protected.

The risk of scarring is very low: When applied correctly, it does not leave permanent damage on the skin.

It is safe on all skin types: It can be used on individuals with light and dark skin.

How is PicoSure Applied?
The color, depth, size and skin type of the tattoo are evaluated before the procedure. During the session, the device directs the laser beams onto the tattoo and breaks down the pigment. During the application:

There may be a slight burning or stinging sensation

The procedure time can last from a few minutes to 30 minutes depending on the size of the tattoo

Slight redness, crusting or swelling is normal afterwards

How Many Sessions Are Required?
Each tattoo is different. The removal process:

Depending on the color of the tattoo

Application depth

Ink density

Skin structure

It may vary. Satisfactory results are usually obtained between 4 and 8 sessions. Session intervals are planned as 6-8 weeks.

What to Consider After Application?

Keep the area clean and dry for the first 48 hours

If you are going to be in the sun, definitely use high factor sunscreen

If there is a crust, definitely do not pick it off

Stay away from activities such as pools, saunas, steam baths for a while

Use moisturizers and protective creams regularly if your doctor has recommended them

Does a Tattoo Removed with PicoSure Completely Disappear?

Yes, especially professionally made tattoos with suitable ink can be largely or completely removed with PicoSure. However, in some tattoos, especially very old or amateur ones, the ink may have spread and in this case the removal rate may be slightly lower.

In Conclusion
PicoSure is one of the most advanced and effective laser technologies in the field of tattoo removal. It offers a high success rate in fewer sessions, with less risk of scarring and in different colored tattoos. If you want to remove your tattoo, you should definitely consult a specialist physician to create a treatment plan suitable for your skin type and the structure of your tattoo.
